Using  the  tripod  socket : The  camera  is  equipped  with  a  socket  at  the  bottom 

end  to  enable  mounting  on  a  tripod  or  other  mounting  accessories  with  a 

standard 1/4-20 thread. 

 

Sensing Angle and Distance Test 

 

To  test  whether the XtendLan Cam  can   effectively   monitor   the  area   you 

choose, 

this  test  is  recommended  to  check  the  sensing  angle  and  monitoring distance 
of the  XtendLan  Cam. To  perform the  test: 
• Switch the XtendLan Cam to the SETUP mode. 
• Make  movements  in front  of the  camera  at  several  positions within 
• the area where you expect the game or subjects  to  be. Try diferent  distances 
and  angles  from the  camera. 
• If  the  motion  indicator  LED  light  blinks,  it  indicates  that  position  can  be 
sensed. If  it  does  not  blink,  that  position  is  outside  of  the  sensing  area.  The 
results  of your  testing will  help you find the  best  placement  when  mounting  and 
aiming  the  XtendLan  Cam.  The  height  away  from  the  ground  for  placing  the 
device  should  vary  with  the  animal  size  appropriately. In general,  3 to  6  feet  is 
preferred.You  can  avoid  potential false  triggers  due  to temperature  and motion 
disturbances  in front  of the  camera  by not aiming  it at a  heat source  or  nearby 
tree  branches  or  brush  (especially  on windy  days). 

 

Switching  ON  the  Camera 

Once you  switch  to  the  ON  mode, the  motion  indicator  LED  (red)  will  blink for 
about  10 seconds.  This  gives you time  to  close  and  lock the front  cover  of the 
XtendLan  Cam  and  then  walk  away.  During  this  time,  the  motion  indicator 
LED will  blink  red continuously. After  it stops  blinking, the  PIR is active, and 

any  motion  that  is  detected  by  it  will  trigger  the  capture  of  photos  or  videos  as 

programmed  in  the  SETUP Menu.  Be  sure  you  have  read  the  descriptions of 
the  Capture  Number,  Video  Length,  Interval  and  Sensor  Level  parameters. 
Please  note, the  sPlR  is strongly  sensitive  to  ambient  temperature.  The  greater 
the  temperature  diference  between  the  environment  and  your  subject,    the 
farther  the  possible  sensing  distance.  The  average  sensing  distance is  about 
45 ft. 

 

Before leaving the camera unattended, please check for the following: 

• Are  the  batteries  or  DC  power  supply  inserted/connected  with  correct  polarity 

and is the  power  level is suicient? 
•  Does  the  SD  card  have  sffuicient available  space and  is  its  write-protection 
(lock)  switch  off? 
•  Is the Power switch in the ON position? (do not leave it in SETUP). 

PLAYING BACK/DELETING the PHOTOS/VIDEOS 

After  you have  setup,  mounted  and  activated  your   XtendLan  Cam,  you  will 

of 

course  be  eager  to  return  later  and  review  the  images  it  has  captured  for 
you. There are several diferent ways this can be done. 

 

Reviewing  Images  on  the  XtendLan  Cam  LCD  (Models  with  Color 

Viewer only) 

• Put the  power  switch  in SETUP  mode  (switch to  OFF  irst). 

• Push the  OK(Replay)  key to  enter  image  review  mode. 
•  Use  the UP/DOWN keys  to  scroll  through  your  photos  or  videos.  The right 
corner  of  the  display  will 

indicate”JPG”for  still  photos,and  a film  icon for  video 

iles. Press the  RIGHT(Shot)  key to  review  a video.
